thinking about a tool truck franchise

I had a Mac Tool distributorship from 1984 to 1993, went to Snap-On on a equipment truck from 1993 to 1999, all in Dallas. The tool business was much more doable back then due to the lack of internet competition. I enjoyed it and am still friends with some of my old customers. However be prepared to work 60 to 70 hours a week every week if you are going to make it. The cost has increased four fold from what it cost me to get in in 1984, I still have friends on Mac and Snap-On trucks. Most of them are still there because they have been at it many years.
Having said that I have been a catastrophic insurance adjuster the past seven years....I am away from home 6 to 8 months out of the year. No benefits and lots of stress, some days are 15 hours long. I am too old to work in a shop, it is tempting to look for a job as an estimator in a big body shop in Dallas but I know that has it own set of issues to deal with also. I can tell you the catastrophic companies will give you a chance with no college but you have better have good customer service and computer skills (and dont mind being away from home alot).
Good luck with your search
